DOUBLE POINT FOR PLOWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,270, dated November 20, 1888.

Application filed June 28, 1888. Serial No. 278,437.

To all whom itmay concern.-

Be it known that I, RUDOLPH SonUsTER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Oarmean, in the county of Fayette and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Double Points for Flows; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a side view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom view. Fig. 3 is a rear end view, and Fig. 4 is a bottom view.

This invention has relation to double points for plows; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of devices, all as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the point, and B the double moldboard in position supported by the standard O.

This double point isisometric,and is formed with a central rectangular bend at the back, the angle presenting upward. From this angle the spine or ridge of the point extends downward and forward to the end point, D, where the ridge becomes more rounded or flatter,but is nevertheless convex. The end point, D, is narrow from side to side, being bounded by the front portions of the concave side edges, 6 e, of the double point, said side edges gradually diverging from parallel relation in front to nearly rectangular relation in the more divergent portions or share portions F. The end point, D, is bounded in front by the edges 9 g, which fall back from the tip, as indi- 'cated.

On each side of the ridge of the double point (No model.)

are the wings H H, which shelve at first ontward, downward, and forward, this inclination being continued to the frontof each shareedge F. In rear of this portion of the shareedge the edges of the wings gradually rise, so that the rear portions of these wings are concave, the inclination of the face of the wings being, however, downward, but less so than in the advanced portion. These edges F F, being lower and outer margins of the sharewings, are horizontahtheir plane being above the plane of the edges 9 g of the tip or end point, D, these planes being, however, parallel, or nearly so.

K K are the lateral angles of the share portions, and L Ltheir rear marginal edges,which are inclined slightly upward and toward each other, as shown. These lateral proj eetions are of strong contour, being of nearly rectangular shape. The vertical distance between the planes of the tip edges, 9 g, and of the shareedges F F of this double point is designed, usually, to be about an inch; but it may be a little more or less, the forward-projecting end point, D, being as long or nearly as the shareedge F aforesaid.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The plow-point having the central rectangular bend at the back, the wings H, shelving outward, downward, and forward,the long parallel-sided end D, the lateral angles K, and the marginal edges L, inclined upward and toward each other, the said portion D being substantially as long as the share-edge F, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

RUDOLPH SOHUSTER.
